Done with your trip to the moon? Tips on How to Get Unhigh
So, you’re feeling a bit too high for comfort? Don’t sweat it! Whether you’re a seasoned toker or just dabbling, getting a handle on THC’s effects can be a lifesaver. Let’s break it down in simpler terms to help you come down from that THC ride.
What’s the Buzz?
First off, what exactly does it mean to be high? THC, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, interacts with receptors in the brain, resulting in altered sensory perception, relaxation, euphoria, increased appetite, and altered perception of time. Some users may also experience anxiety, paranoia, or confusion, especially when consuming high-potency products or in unfamiliar environments. It can make you feel chill, happy, and even give you the munchies. But sometimes, it can also make you feel paranoid, anxious, or just plain weird. A lot of things can play into how intense your high feels – how strong edible is, how much you’ve used before, where you are, and even what else you’ve been doing.
Edibles vs. Vaping: What’s the Diff?
If you’ve eaten an edible, you might’ve noticed it takes a while to kick in – like an hour or more. That’s because your body has to digest it first. And guess what? Coming down from an edible high can take longer too.It’s critical to exercise patience and avoid consuming more until the effects are fully felt.
Cool Ways to Come Down
-
Chill Out and Shift Focus: Get your mind off the high by doing something fun or relaxing. Listen to tunes, watch Netflix, doodle, or tidy up. Distraction is key!
-
Hydrate: Stay on top of hydration with water. THC tends to dry you out and cause dry eyes and dry mouth. Avoid alcohol, which can make things worse.
-
Eat Terpene-Rich Foods: Just there there are terpenes in cannabis that gives the flower its distinct smell and vibe, certain foods can contain terpenes too. Foods like pine nuts or lemon water might help tone down your high from terpenes line pinene and lemonene. Some folks swear by chewing peppercorns that contains beta-carophyllene.
-
Take a Hot or Cold Shower: A hot or cold shower can help alleviate discomfort associated with being high. While anecdotal evidence suggests cold showers are more effective, choose the temperature that feels most comfortable to you.
-
Take a Stroll: Fresh air and a gentle walk can help clear your head and get your circulation going. Plus, it’s a good excuse to get outside.
-
Talk it Out: Chat with a friend about how you’re feeling. Sometimes, just saying it out loud can make you feel loads better, especially when that person can provide reassurance that you’ll be fine in time.
-
CBD to the Rescue: Grab some CBD if you can. It can balance out the effects of THC and bring you back down to Earth. CBD can counteract the effects of THC by blocking cannabinoid receptors in the brain.
-
Raise the White Flag and Take a Nap: When all else fails, take a nap. Sleep’s the ultimate escape to pass the time while your mind and body is coming down.
